Joe the creel would be a good choice in that it would limit what you can carry, I would suggest along with it a lanyard for the tools you use often. you already have it so give it a try.

I have a hip pack,(when did they stop being fanny packs?) the problem with it is its always behind me and hard to find stuff in, If I have it tight enough that it doesn't fall off I have to take it off to get inside of it, too loose and it is on the ground, Because of this I tend to carry it over a shoulder and throw it on the ground when fishing.

I have thought about a mesh vest as my main dislike of a vest is how hot it is and I know that I would stuff it to the gills.

So I am considering something like either
theEquinox Shoulder Bag or the Old School on this page.
